Over the last couple of years, the Los Angeles Lakers have begun stocking
their roster with a number of young, talented players. D’Angelo Russell,
Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and others have shown flashes of potential,
but arguably none have shown more than last year’s second overall pick,
Brandon Ingram.
大意：IG比上述這些人更好。
Even though he had an up-and-down rookie season, Ingram really turned it on
down the stretch of the season. He scored in double figures in 18 of his 21
games played after the All-Star break, raised his scoring from 8.0 PPG before
the break to 13.2 after, and raised his shooting percentage from 36.3 to 47.5.
大意：在明星賽後IG有顯著的進步，21場比賽中有18場比賽得分到達雙位數，且平均得分
從8分成長到13.2分，另外命中率從36.3%提升至47.5。
Coming into this offseason, there have been a lot of questions about the
potential moves the Lakers may make. President of basketball operations Magic
Johnson appeared on Sirius XM NBA Radio ahead of the NBA Draft Lottery and
seemed to indicate that Ingram is someone the Lakers plan to build around:
MagicJohnson says they will probably build around Brandon Ingram.
大意：MJ說可能以IG為建隊核心。
Obviously, a lot of things can change over time, and tonight’s draft lottery
will certainly play a role in that, but it is interesting to see Magic come
out and back Ingram as essentially a franchise player.
The Lakers have been mentioned in a number of rumors, particularly in regards
to Indiana’s Paul George. In trying to acquire George, the Lakers would have
to give up a lot, and it is likely that the Pacers would ask for Ingram in
addition to other pieces. Whether Magic’s words here indicate that he wouldn
’t part with Ingram in such a deal remains to be seen.
大意：提到湖人在想要得到PG時，溜馬可能會要求拿IG來交易，但MJ說應該他不會把IG拿
去跟PG交易。
Nonetheless, it seems as if Magic and the Lakers front office sees Ingram as
a key piece moving forward as they try to bring the Lakers back to the top of
the league.
